Javadoc displaying value on an inner class constant using @value

Question

I have an inner class which declares a constant and want to display its value in Javadoc of the enclosing top-level class using the @value annotation. For example:

/**
 * {@value #FOO_CONS} // this displays well
 * {@value #BAR_CONS} // this does not work (checked in the latest Eclipse)
 * {@value Bar#BAR_CONS} // this does not work, either
 */
public Foo {
  public static final int FOO_CONS = 1;
  static class Bar {
    public static final int BAR_CONS = 42;
  }
}

Any ideas how to display the value of BAR_CONS in Javadoc of the Foo class (or any other class, in general)?

Answer 1

Javadoc format for constant defined in another package should be:
{@value package.class#field}

However, it potentially not rendering is a known issue:

Answer 2

if create javadoc for members with visibility "package" (which is the visibility for your Bar class) i get the constant in the javadoc under Foo.Bar
